1) Our customers are called clients…Like prostitutes.

2) We work in weird shifts…Like prostitutes.

3) They pay you to make the client happy…Like a prostitute.

4) The client pays a lot of money, but your employer keeps almost every penny…Like a prostitute.

5) You are rewarded for fulfilling the client's dreams…Like a prostitute.

6) Your friends fall apart and you end up hanging out with people in the same industry as you…Like a prostitute.

7) When you meet the client you always have to be perfectly groomed…Like a prostitute.

8) But when you go back home it seems like you are coming back from hell…Like a prostitute.

9) The client always wants to pay less but expects incredible things from you…Like a prostitute.

10) When people ask you about your job, you have difficulties explaining it…Like a prostitute.

11) Everyday when you wake up, you say: “I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE DOING THIS!”…OH JUST LIKE a prostitute.

The only difference is that prostitutes can take Christmas and New Year's Eve off and they actually DO make a lot of money!

If you know someone in the PR industry, please share this with them so they don't feel bad anymore…Like a prostitute.

While I would love to make six-figures, I don't and do think that Cog may have hit the nail on the head as to my take on the industry. Yes we all went into this business to help get publicity for clients/companies, but sometimes white lies and spinning the truth are needed to get there.

My pleasure to post this. I certainly do appreciate this business and have learned a great deal in my years in the biz. My oddly small positive side sees the negatives of our biz as learning experiences. I def am interested in seeing the responses as well. Hey Keith -

The comments here should be quite interesting ... I won't say either way my feelings on the above, but I'm definitely looking forward to reading what others have to say! BTW ... very well written. Tough subject to broach, particularly from your POV, so kudos to you on making in a worthwhile read, rather than a "this is what clients expect us to do, get over it or get out of the biz" type of read. <br><br>Keith Trivitt<br>@KeithTrivitt Haha.
